drying up

Hi folks, Guided a small mountain brook yesterday and the low water level was kind of scary.  Water temperature was 63 degrees which is warm for this little brook.  We did receive some rain last night and at my house in Stowe the rain gauge is measuring .5" of precipitation.  Any rain is good, but we need a few days of sustained rain.  Pretty easy locating where the trout will be holding as many spots simply do not have enough water.  Primary pools with over knee deep water held fish.  We could see the brookies dart from under neath rocks to grab the  dry fly.  A #14 orange stimulator and #14 royal rubber legged stimulator were the flies of the day.  Awful pretty fish are brook trout and their colors are getting better by the day.  Off to chase smallmouth bass this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
